Students from around the world calculated their class mean and standard deviations for their footprints and posted them on our world map.
Do you see differences across the globe? If so, why do you think those differences exist?
Did you use the calculator to try to reduce your footprint down to the average from a citizen of another country? What changes would you have to make to lower your footprint in this way? Are you going to try and take some of these actions in your daily life?

United States
I am from the united states and my carbon footprint is less than any resident here but a little more than residents worldwide. Sadly I come from a region where we do not use resourceful energy such as from solar panels. Hopefully this can change in the future.
